RESULTS OF LABOR AGITATION IN
MASSACHUSETTS,.

A Boston paper has been investigating
the reports concerning the removal of man
ufaCturing establishments from the cities
Of Eastern Massachusetts to county towns
in Maine and New Hampshire, and finds
that some tw%enty-three firms have with
drawn their business wholly or in part
from Lynn alone. In their outside factor
les they employ $3.50 hands, representing
a population OF at least 1000, and pay
sass, GOO in annual wages. Five firms,
employing COO hands and paying $3.50, 900
a year for wages, have left Haverhill; three
firms, with 315 operatives, earning Sl4l,-
600 per annum, have gone from Beverly;
six, with $40 hands, receiving 1891, 600,
from Stoneham, and the sams number,
employing l,2T5 persons, and paying them
$633,OOO a year, from Marblehead. From
the places named, all told, thirty five es-
Establishments have been moved to New
Hampshire and Maine. In those States
they employ SIS persons and pay them
as wages s., S2l, 600 annually-all OF which
persons, it is represented, would have been
employed and money distributed in Mas
sachusetts bat for the labor aSitations of
recent years. The loss to that State in the
value Of goods made is estimated at So
425, 600 yearly. 1t is asserted by some that
the trade of Lynn has fallen of one-third
during the past five years, and that OF
Haverhin 81, OOO, 600, and of Beverly ST.
600, 900.
This is a phase OF the labor troubles that
has been overlooked till of late. The fact
has been learned only by bitter experience,
and this experience is proving worse for
the Massachusetts, workingmen than any
body else. Not only is their employment
gone, Lut the very means that gave them
employment have been removed never to
return. This is a good deal like the man
who was not satisfied when his hen laid a
golden egg every day, and 50 killed the
hen with the hope of getting a solid mass
of gold all in a lump.

OuctinehtS DE OHeTeu Dy our peopLc'
In answer to a question we wOuld say
that the last session of the Legislature
voted to submit to the people three amend
ments to the State Constitution in 1SSS.
They are rs follows:
The Prohibition Amendment.
The amendment referring to appeals
from a Justice, when there is = trial by
jury, striking out of the Constitution the
words "no fact tried by a jury shall he
otherwise r~e-eXamined in any case than
according to the rules Of the common
law"
An amendment providing that sessions
of the Legislature shall hereafter continue
for sixty days.
RESPECTFULLY DEDICATED TO
OUR GOVERNOR.
Governor WILSON'S failure To name the
election ola United States Senator rs one
of the things for which the extra ses-
sion OF the Legislature is called is rouS-
inc a sentiment among the Democracy
of the State that bodies no good for the
political future of the Governor ShOuld he
persist in the position he has taken. The
editorial from the Greenbrier Independent,
which we reproduce this morning, is an
example Of this growing sentiment.
We are sorry that anything has hap
pcned which the Democracy can cOnstrue
Us indicating that the man whom they
have elected to the highest office in the
gift Ofthe voters Of the commonwealth is
using his office for the qualification of
Some within of his W and to the detriment
of his party. IL is bad for the party and
worse for tine Governor.
All this could have been avoided and may
still be mended should the Governor yet
notify the legislature that he wishes them
to assume the h1s.i-s Of electin% q Senator.
He can thus yet .eiI the people by his ac-
tons, and not by mere words, that he
does not wish to arrOgate for himSelfa duty
which righttully belongs tOthe representa-
tNes Of the people. The great p~reponder-
ance of evidence is IN the side that the
Legislature has the right to elect. If
there was a doubt, it would have been far
better for the Governor to have given the
people instead of himself the benefit Ofthe
doubt, like the Governor of Oregon did
when he called a special session of the Leg
islature to elect 4 Senator, when it had
failed to elect. He would have disarmed
his enemies and greatly increased his pop
ularity and prospects for political bonOts
among the people. We hope the Governor
may yet set himself right before the
Democracy of the State.

Michael, the third son of the Russian
emperor, is in the naval service. Some
thing more than year ago, when hold
ing the rank Of midshipman, the flag
ship in which he was serving was
wrecked on the coast of Denmark. The
admiral ordered the life-boats to be low
cred, and directed Michael to take
charge Of the first one. The royal mid
shipman declined to obey.
II am your commanding officer, and
l order you into the boat ~ cried the adj
miral.
Il cannot obey YOU" returned the
prince. cit would not become son Of
the emperor to be the first to leave the
ship shall remain with you till the
last
"But l shall put you under arrest for
disobedience, as soon as circumstances
will allow me-
Il mean no disobediencc, but can
not obey" persisted Michael.
In due time the crew, with the ex-
ception Of four or five men, reached the
shore in safety, and the last to leave the
vessel were the admiral and Duke
Michael Then as soon as temporary
shelter was obtained, the rigid discipline
of naval life was resumed, aud theyoung
prince was placed under arrest for dis
obedience to orders.
The Russian Minister at Copenhagen,
being at once informed Of the facts, tele-
graphcd them to the emperor, and re-
ccivcd from HIM the following reply:
81 approve the act Of the admiral in
placing the midshipman under arrest 70
disobcying orders, and / bless and kiss
my son for disobeying them. III Youths

WashIngton,s Church Pew in New York

Trinity, says New York letter, is
often spoken of as if it were an old
church, and indeed the site has been
occupied since 1896 and its graveyard
the one quiet place on busy Broadway
open since 1908. But the building has
been enlarged twice, burned, rebuilt,
pulled down and again rebuilt in that
time, the present beautiful Gothic
structure dating from 1916 only Much
older in reality is st. Paul's, no great
distance above it, built in 1866. The
finest Sir Christopher Wren model in
this country they used to call it. 1t
was meant to front on Church street,
and the old steeple stands on that side,
but Broadway grew in importance 50
rapidly that it had an incongruous
Greek portico added afterwards and In
a different architectural period, giving
the present front on Broadway Con-
gress erected mural tomb to Mont
eomery the hero Of Quebec, in its front
wall in 177G, and his remains were in
tered under it in 1878 Washington
used to attend St. Paups, and his pew
is still pointed out. The Methodist
church in John street, has the Wesley
pulpit and is cherished as the cradle Of
the sect in this country, but it is not an
old-time building, the original structure
put up in 177G having been replaced By
second on the same site.

Making stick Candy.

A contributor to the American An
alyst says, in an article on the mysteries
of candy making: Sugar is bought by
the ton, starch and glucose in large
quantities. cocoanuts by the car load,
besides cochineal, prepared fruits, etc.
The business may properly be divided
into two general branches-the making
of stick candy and of the various fancy
kinds. The most interesting branch by
all odds is the first mentioned, and is as
much of revelation when seen for the
first time as glass blowing. The mix
ture, after boiling, is thrown in q plastic
state on large stone slabs, where it runs
out flat into thick sheets These sheets
are repeatedly picked up, doubled over
and kneaded together until they become
of the right consistency when they are
rolled into one immense cylinder of
grayish color. A narrow strip of the
same mixture, colored red with
cochineal is laid along one side of the
larger piece and adheres to it. Little
strips of shade made whittier by pull
ing are also laid lengthwise, and ali
around that cylinder equal distances
apart. This gives an immense stick of
soft, gray candy, with one big red
stripe and several white ones, all run
ming lcngthwise on it.
A man with pair Of gloves on takes
hold of this and pulls it out the whole
length of the long table, at one end of
which it lies, runs his closed hand along
the sugar rope thus made with such dex-
terity as to make it perfectly round and
of the exact size he wishes twists the
rope once or twice to make the stripes
run round it, and, presto, there is stick
of candy long as a iishpole. All this is
done as quick as wink the long, plant
ropes squirming into place like snakes
under the magician's hand, until the
whole table is covered with them.
When they are cool they are cut into
the right length with peculiar PAIR of
shears.

Cormorant Fishing.

In China tame cormorants arc trained
to fish for their masters. Rev. Justis
DooHttlo thus describes the process Of
cormorant fishing:
''The fisherman who has charge Of
the cormorants stands upon raft Of
bamboo poles, very light, and propelled
by paddle. A basket is placed on it
to contain the fish. Each raft has three
or four cormorants connected with it.
When not fishing, they crouch down
stupidity on the raft
"The fisherman, when 10 wishes to
make a cormorant fish, pushes or throws
it off the raft into the water. II it i
not disposed at once to dive and seek
for fish, he sometimes strikes it, so that
it is glad to dive, and get out Of his
reach.
''When it has caught fish, it rises to
the surface, holding it in its mouth,
and apparently striving to swallow it. A
string tied loosely around its neck, or
metallic ring, effectually prevents swal-
lowing, except, perhaps, ia the case Of
very small fish. ut usually swims di-
rectly for tho raft The fisherman,
when near enough, dexterously passes
net-like bag, fastened to tho end Of
pole, over the two, and draws them
both on the raft. He then forces the
fish from the grasp of the bird, and, as
if to reward tho latter for its success,
gives it mouthful Of food, which it Il
enabled to swallow on his raising the
ring from tho lower part of its neck
The bird, if apparently tired out, is al
lowed to rest awhile on tho raft, and
then it is pushed off again into the
water and made to dive and hunt for
fish as before
Sometimes one bird will hasten to
the assistance Of another which has
caught large fish which he may be un-
able to master; the bird will help his
comrade to carry his prize to the raft,
and then fly back and resume Its own
labors"

THE CAPTAINS WIFE.

The right wing Of Sherman's army
was only few miles from Blue Rock, a
mountain village in Georgia.
The simple villagers felt little alarm.
Blue Rock was the point of no strategic
Importance to either the Federals OF the
Confederates.
One fine morning in the early spring
John Dickson started out from the little
hamlet to visit his farm, only mile or
two distant, Dickson was young man,
but chronic lameness had secured his
exemption from military service, and as
he had a wife and two children entirely
dependent upon him, he regarded his
disability as blessing.
Still, he was a strong Confederate, and
on this particular morning, while hew
limping slowly along the rough country
road, he paused more than once to listen
with frowning face to the sulen boom
Of sherman's guns, several miles away.
Il am not able to do much fighting,
ne muttered, but if they come to Blue
Rock and cut up any PHI kill some Of
them if have to die for itr
He meant what he said. This Quiet
young farmer had plenty of grit when
he was put to the test.
The walk tired him, and he left the
road and stretched himself in q grassy
place under the shade Of sturdy old
oak.

closed his eyes for a moment. Then he
looked up into the green foliage above
him.
A queer expression fittol over his
face, but his gaze remained fixed upon
one point
In a careless way he raised hi
hand to his face, and stroked his
moustache Then the hand wandered
down over his vest toying with each
button. AT last it slipped downward to

Old Saws in Rhyme.
An honest confession is good for the soul;
As thin as a rail- or as black as a coal.
A hen that is setting viii never grow fat;
As wise as an owl or as blind as a bat.
As the twig first is bent so the tree is in
clined;
AS many opinions as people we find.
Bette. wear out than rust out; the under
dog kick;
Empty wagons make most noise; Tom,
Harry and Dick.
A lick and promise; i'll news travels fast;
If you're not rich at forty your chances are
past.
The harder the storm is the sooner its over;
Be just before generous; living in clover
After storm comes the calm; it takes two to
fight;
Blessings all brighten when taking their
flight.
Between hay and grass; there are tricks in
each trade;
A games never won till the end of it's
played.
Every mans his own doctor; clothes Dor
rowed don't fit;
Brevity always the soul is of wit.
Birth may be good, but good breeding is
more;
Afraid of his shadow; don't stick in your
oar
Poverty makes for us bedfellows strange;
Hanging's too good for him. sweet is revenge.
Never swap horses while crossing a stream;
Always by contraries goeth dream.
By rogues falling out honest men get their
dues;
By distance enchantment is lent to the view
Jack of all trades but master of none
Conscience makes towards of everyone
There's nothing so bad it cannot be worse;
To some people money is only curse.
Unadorned beauty the most is adorned;
Homes where the heart is ;forearmed is fore
warned.
There's many slip 'twixt the cup and the
lip;
The little leaks often win sink a big ship.
Blood's thicker than water all cry and no
wool;
A proud heart is made by stomach that's
full
Many go out to shear and come home again
shorn;
Ais not gold that glitter's; mans made to
mourn
Ittakes two bargain to make; sour grapes,
Taxes and death are what no one escapes.
